Chapter 24. Baptism with the Holy Spirit

So, right now it’s May 11th, 2026. On May 9th I gave my presentation online,
where, as I understand it, 1,090 people gathered. These were all my readers who
decided to take part in the online presentation. Precisely this way — for it to be
a live broadcast online, where I tell about my book in real time — there hadn’t
been anything like it for very many years. Considering that, since the pandemic, I
don’t keep up social media at all and can rarely toss out some photos from travels,
just, let’s say, two years old — I’m surprised that there were so many people. I
understand that if I’d done mailings across all the social networks and made
reminders every day or every week over the course of a month, there would have
been 3,000 people too. But the fact that, altogether without advertising, without
reminders, I published information one single time in my public Telegram
channel about there being an event about simply nothing, just that I’d perform
online… and 1,090 people gathered — that’s just wow. That’s fine. It strengthened
me, as if twofold — that is, it gave me such an insane faith. And I simply didn’t
expect it, wasn’t counting on it, but, funny to say, I wasn’t thinking about it —
since I can’t think anyway. But the point is that I didn’t think about it. And I’m
pleased by how I felt at the moment of the presentation. I’ll honestly admit: there
were signs. Over the course of the week before I was to perform, at first there
were signs that I absolutely must tell about that path I passed through in the
eleventh volume of the novel “Alternative History.” Because I’d been counting
on, supposing, expecting that I’d perform and tell about what’s happening with
me now. Oh, I’ve got déjà vu. Interesting… Strange, I very rarely have déjà vu,
but now there’s déjà vu. And it turned out that in order to broadcast publicly for
everyone about the eleventh volume — that is, about the Spirit — you first need to
warn them about the tenth volume. That is, that’s how the Spirit was highlighting
it for me all week.

That day, May 9th, before the presentation, for some reason the system
highlighted the film “Shutter Island” with Leonardo DiCaprio for me three
times, from different sides. I don’t know what for and why. I watched it 15 or
10 years ago, long ago. I remember that this film is grim, and that the main hero,
Leonardo DiCaprio, thinks that he’s some kind of detective and is investigating
